One challenge in safer school design is balancing physical security and free egress routes with welcoming interior spaces. TGProtect™ FR System provides a transparent solution. As North America’s first full-lite, fire-rated door system certified to forced entry standards, this attack-resistant door assembly provides multiple forms of protection simultaneously. Featuring a die-rolled steel profile swinging door with optional sidelite(s), TGProtect FR System has the narrowest sightlines available with a fire rating. Pre-hung, pre-finished and easy to install, it is ideal for school applications and complements adjacent non-fire-rated doors.

Open Fire-Rated Design Possibilities with Fireframes ClearView® System from Technical Glass Products.

Technical Glass Products’ (TGP) Fireframes ClearView® System helped create a sense of openness within University of Pittsburgh’s Allen Magee Scaife Hall. Able to defend against fire, smoke and heat transfer, this fire-rated glazing system joins pieces of Pilkington Pyrostop®, low-iron, fire-rated and impact safety-rated glass with nearly colorless butt-glazed joints. This eliminates the need for vertical mullions within TGP’s Fireframes® Heat Barrier perimeter frames, maximizing the amount of glazing possible. Providing unobstructed sightlines through the building’s central stairwell, the Fireframes ClearView System contributes to the hall’s open design and offers a close visual match to adjacent non-rated assemblies.

Designing for critical fire-protection & open sight lines with fire-rated frames from Technical Glass Products

TGP’s Fireframes ClearView® System is comprised of butt-glazed Pilkington Pyrostop®, low-iron fire-rated and impact safety-rated glass with a heat-resistive perimeter frame. The butt-glazed joints feature nearly colorless transitions between adjoining pieces of the low-iron glass, eliminating the need for colored internal glass unit spacers or vertical frame mullions. This allows the assembly to all but disappear without compromising its level of protection.
